Wedding ideas and advice for today's bride

Tag: glendalough manor bridal shows

It is no wonder bridal shows can seem a little overwhelming! Not only are there hundreds of vendors to see but thousands of other brides in attendance. You may wonder why you should go? Well there are so many reasons to attend a bridal show and I strongly encourage you to give it a try!

One of the biggest reasons to attend a bridal show is to save money! So many vendors are discounting their services significantly to encourage brides to book their services at the show. Another advantage to bridal shows is that you get a great opportunity to sample a variety of vendors work at one time and one place. You can sample food, view albums, talk to the vendors in person and you also receive tons of free goodies and advice. My favorite reason to attend a bridal show is to see new and fresh ideas you never thought of before. You may see design trends for inspiration, unique favors or wedding entertainment you may have never thought of without the show.

If you are attending a bridal show there are a few tips to remember:

-First, bring a digital camera or make sure you have a camera phone with you. That way you can take pictures of vendors work for future reference.

-Bring address labels with you to enter for prizes and gifts. This way you don’t have to fill out the paperwork at every booth!

-Do your research and know ahead of time which vendors you want to see. That way you can map out which booths to visit first before they get too crowded! And make sure to bring a notepad and paper to take notes.

-Make sure you don’t forget your checkbook! This way you can potentially get discounts for booking at the show! Most vendors book on a first come basis, especially venues, so if you want a certain facility or vendor it would be wise to book them at the show!

-Have fun!! Bring your bridesmaids and make a day of it enjoying the planning!!

When the girls at Glendalough Manor participate in a bridal show, they try to not only show off their beautiful facility but show you new and exciting design trends.
